Rh :And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up,
 * And her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves,
 * Tabering upon their breasts.
 * But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water:
 * Yet they shall flee away.
 * Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back.
 * Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold:
 * For there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
 * She is empty, and void, and waste:
 * And the heart melteth, and the knees smite together,
 * And much pain is in all loins,
 * And the faces of them all gather blackness.
 * Where is the dwelling of the lions,
 * And the feedingplace of the young lions,
 * Where the lion, even the old lion, walked,
 * And the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?
 * The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps,
 * And strangled for his lionesses,
 * And filled his holes with prey,
 * And his dens with ravin.
 * Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts,
 * And I will burn her chariots in the smoke,
 * And the sword shall devour thy young lions:
 * And I will cut off thy prey from the earth,
 * And the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
